When fitting an ordinal model with family = cumulative in brms, what parameters does the disc scale? For example, assuming disc is \alpha and \tau are the thresholds, which describes how \alpha enters the model? \alpha(\tau + \eta) \tau + \alpha(\eta)

How is the disc parameter used with the cumulative family in brms?

Found the answer here. It’s option 1.
